Review: Venus & Olay Razor

Hi lovelies! I have yet another review from my Influenster Free Voxbox Review Program. I received this Venus & Olay Razor from Gilette to review for you all. I want you to know that the following post is 100% my opinion. I will always be completely honest with my readers about products that I am reviewing. With that in mind, let's get started!

Overall: 9/10
Pros: Smells nice, is easy to use, is moisturizing
Cons: Not as close of a shave as my other Venus

 This razor has 5 blades, which is super nice! This razor also features Olay Moisture Bars. The bars contain Petrolatum to lock in moisture in the skin and Glycerin to get that glow that all of us are after! This razor also still has the pivoting head to get harder to reach spots. 


First Impressions: 
I was very excited to try out this razor. I have loved all of the Venus razors that I have tried. I thought it was very interesting that this razor has the Olay strips. Olay products always make my skin feel fantastic, so I was hoping that this razor would be the same. The sample contained one cartridge to try out. I also really liked the wall hanger for this razor. It was not bulky and stuck very well to the wall. I was eager to try out this razor.

First shave:
I was blown away by how easy it was to shave with this razor. I normally shave with conditioner to make my legs soft. This razor really cut that whole step out for me. I simply wet the razor and shaved on. The Olay bars lathered up really well. They made the razor glide easily across my legs to make them soft and smooth. Despite this, I felt like it didn't get as close as a shave as the earlier Venus razor (which also has five blades). It felt like the Olay strips kept the razor from making direct contact with my legs. I do not think this was enough of a problem to keep me from loving this product. I definitely still rate this product a 9/10 and would definitely purchase it again.

I was able to shave the next day again without getting any razor burn, thanks to the Olay strips. This razor was just so fantastic. It really made shaving easier and less messy, since I didn't have to use conditioner. A refillable Venus & Olay with one replacement cartridge sells for approximately $8.99-$10.99 at places like Walmart. I will definitely be looking to buy a replacement for this razor now that I have used it a few times.
I would definitely recommend buying this!

If you have used this razor, let me know what you think down below!
